We spotted it at about the same moment, husband and I, from windows on different floors. Robins, though here for several days already, had our attention trained to the backyard when I heard my husband call out from upstairs:
"Bluebird! Backyard, in the grove!"
I had caught a glimpse too, but quickly dismissed the idea. Too early. But the robins were earlier this year...
I didn't hesitate this time and ran for the camera and the binoculars. Camera was in its place, binoculars were...in the car.
I headed out to find them and while trying to free the case from underneath the front seat, I looked up and out of the window in time to see him fly to a nearby tree. Then he came closer, flew around to a tree behind the car. I quietly slipped out of the car and snapped pictures, focused binoculars, smiled. He gave me three minutes then had somewhere else to be.
Three minutes: still not enough time to change the settings on my camera for better pictures. I have got to read that manual.
